How To Stay Active and Productive

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the percentage of Americans who are overweight is?are you ready for this? a staggering 69%. Let me repeat that, 69%. As in over two-thirds. As in nearly seven out of 10 people.

Note to Self: Remember to workout. I?m one of the 69%.

New Note to Self: Make time to work out. Of course I would work out more often if I had the time.

That?s so last century?and it feels exactly like the walled gardens that I worked in earlier in my career.
